[dpdk-dev] which is the code base when submitting patch around end of September

[Hideyuki Yamashita]

Hello Experts,


Very basic question to create patch.

I am planning to post patch set which introduce new functionality (not
bug fix ).
Note that I will post the patch set on end of September.

Q1. 
If I post patch set to dev-ml, which is the code base?
Source code which is retrieved from "git clone" ?
Or tar ball of previous version like "dpdk-19.05.tar.gz"?

Q2. 
If review of the patch starts around October, when 
will the patch will be merged, if patch is good one.
19.11 LTS? or 20.02?
(Are there any rule or deadlines?)

Thanks in advance,
